What "role" do Jack Nicholson and Bill Murray have in common?

Okay, nobody seems to be getting this:
They both played the Dental patient who liked pain alittle too much. (Jack played "Wilber Force", while Bill was listed as Arthur Denton, a homage to the Richard Crenna charactor in "Our Miss Brooks" - more than you wanted to know...okay, I'll shut up.)

What did Jack Nicholson ask god about "whether it was a mistake of if he did it to us on purpose" in The Witches of Eastwick"?

Name the non-fictional character played by both Johnny Depp and Bill Murray in movies, and the name the films in which they played him.

Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Murray in "Where the Buffalo Roam" and Depp in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."

For "Citizen Kane," Orson Welles recieved Oscar nominations for his writing, directing, acting, and producing. This has happened to only one other artist, and it happened to him twice. Who is he and what are the films?

In the movie "It Happened One Night" what is known as "the walls of Jericho?"

The blanket hung between the two beds (I love that ending!)

Who did K. Hepburn want to play Dexter and Mike in Philadelphia Story and who actually ended up with the roles?

(Bringing this back up to the top, so we can get it going again.)

And, by the way, I rented It Happened One Night yesterday just because of this thread! It's been a while since I've seen it, and I thought it'd be fun to watch for those Walls of Jericho again!

Katherine Hepgurn starred alonside Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart, as Dexter and Mike; she'd wanted the roles played by Joseph Cotton and Van Heflin, who had played those roles on the stage.

.. probably wrong but all I've dug up so far.

Right on who actually played the roles, but not who she originally wanted!

thought so .. oops, just noticed my typo .. will continue looking when I get up (if still unasnwered) it's 3.11am and I really should get out of the zoo and into bed!

ok Linda1 from Texas, everywhere I've looked I keep coming up with blanks ..

.. as she bought the film rights to the play, then the only conclusion I can draw is she was able to select whom and whoever she wanted .. so those who played the roles were the ones she originally wanted!

Hepburn wanted Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable to play the roles, but neither were available.

Who was the real life model for Tracy Lord, Kate Hepburn's role in Philadelphia Story?

ktravers, the changeover that we had still has a few "glitches" - in fact, there are still some members who cannot access the site at the moment according to Terry. Terry's most likely working on the problem!

gtho4, great job with that answer! You get to ask the next question!

.. I'm at work so it's a quick easy one, and btw FT time at the moment is almost 23.00 on Thu 04-May-2000 not what's showing up!

If things are up for grabs, can I ask the next question?

In the Wizard of Oz, what did the witch really write behind her broomstick above the Emerald City? And, why was it later changed?

I believe it was "Surrender Dorothy or die! WWW" I assume it was changed because it was pretty gruesome for its time.
